Boston Mayor Michelle Wu Announces She Is Pregnant With Third Child

BOSTON – Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has announced that she is pregnant and expecting her third child in January.

“Conor, Blaise, Cass and I can’t wait to welcome another little one to our family and to Boston,” Wu said in an email to supporters Monday night. “It hasn’t been an easy journey, but I’m due in January and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

In 2021, Wu became the first woman and first person of color to be elected mayor of Boston.

“I am grateful to live in this welcoming community that has become the best home my family could ever imagine. And I am grateful to know and represent so many hardworking families in our city who inspire me every day,” Wu said in the email.

Wu, 39, told the Boston Globe that she plans to run for re-election next year.

“I’ve been a mother and caregiver for as long as I’ve been in public service,” Wu said. “It’s that daily magic trick — and the struggles and dreams of families in our neighborhoods — that keeps me grounded in the work and propels me forward with urgency.”
